Evaluating autonomous agents requires examining whether they can translate goals into coherent action across extended interactions. In persistent environments, this requires coordinating interdependent actions under incomplete observations, accounting for delayed effects, and adapting as earlier decisions shape subsequ...

Forecast-based models are fundamental to network traffic management and anomaly detection. However, it is essential to evaluate these forecasting models over extended periods of time in order to assess their adaptability to unexpected phenomena and shifts in underlying patterns. This kind of long-term evaluation requir...

Online, same-day delivery requires operators to constantly update their routes, and the routing cost for deliveries increases with the number of customers. Out-of-home (OOH) delivery options can help companies handle increasing customer numbers while keeping delivery costs low. We develop a dynamic pricing-and-routing...

Reflective language agents reuse feedback and memory to adapt across tasks without updating model weights. However, existing guarantees for policy selection and action generation do not by themselves establish when local reflection yields long-term performance guarantees for the complete agent under resource constraint...

LLM-powered data analytics aims to translate natural language instructions into executable analytical programs over underlying data. However, existing approaches, whether treating LLMs as intent-to-code translators or as standalone analytical engines, often fail to reliably align domain semantics with complex schemas a...

ProgAgent is introduced, a full PTC training stack, comprising a pipeline for synthesizing verifiable long-horizon tasks, a lightweight PTC runtime, and a two-stage training recipe, suggesting that the benefits of PTC training extend beyond the interface.

Camera-first agents must act on the visual world as it unfolds. We argue that the central obstacle for future camera-first agents is not recognition ability - multimodal models (vision-language and live/streaming alike) generalize well through language and remain the right tool for semantic reasoning - but time. Many v...

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) can reproduce sensitive, copyrighted, or unsafe information from their training data. Effective unlearning must remove target information while preserving non-target content, even within the same response. Existing methods typically apply uniform forgetting objectives to complet...

Hybrid language models interleave Gated DeltaNet (GDN) layers, whose recurrent memory has a fixed size, with full-attention layers, whose key-value (KV) cache grows with the context and dominates serving memory. In this paper, we ask whether the recurrent memory already knows what the attention memory will need. We fir...
Credit assignment in modular financial reinforcement learning is difficult to evaluate because an attributed signal may improve a component loss without adding decision-relevant information or improving economic outcomes. We propose an evaluation framework combining equal-information reconstruction controls, fixed-util...
Extreme low-bit weight-only quantization is an effective approach to reducing the deployment costs of large language models. Below 3 bits, scalar quantization often suffers severe accuracy loss, while vector quantization (VQ) better preserves accuracy through more expressive joint encoding. However, existing VQ methods...

Optimization by PROmpting (OPRO) directly leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate candidate solutions through natural-language prompting. However, OPRO's optimization process is difficult to track, which prevents LLMs from capturing useful information accumulated over previous iterations, thereby limiting so...
